Hey friends,
Let’s talk real for a second—bankruptcy isn’t the end. In fact, it might just be the reset button you didn’t know you needed. If you’re one of the nearly 800,000 people who filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. last year, I want you to hear this loud and clear: you are not financially doomed.
Our friend Sam Parker, CEO of MyCreditGuy Credit Restoration, recently broke it down in a video that everyone bouncing back from bankruptcy should see. He shared some important insights on what really happens after you file—and more importantly, what needs to happen next.
Bankruptcy Isn’t a Death Sentence. It’s a Second Chance.
When your bankruptcy is discharged, that debt is legally gone. But just because it’s gone on paper doesn’t mean your credit report got the memo.
According to Sam, many people still have incorrect info showing up in their credit file—balances that should be zeroed out or ratings marked with a “9” instead of a “7.” That seemingly small error? It could be tanking your credit score and keeping you from getting the real fresh start you deserve.
The Fix: Check Your Credit Report, Line by Line
Sam recommends going through your credit report carefully to ensure everything’s reported correctly. If you’re unsure what you’re looking for, he even offers a free credit report review through his website. That alone could help you uncover some hidden opportunities to improve your score quickly.
Rebuilding Your Credit: Play the Game, Play it Smart
Yes, you’ll need to get credit cards again. That part might sound scary—but this time, you’re going in with knowledge and control. Responsible use of new credit is exactly what your score needs to climb. This is your shot at building a better future, and the key is playing by the rules.
